The Origin Series is a collection of thickened tiles that have been revolutionised in terms of style, quality, and eco-friendliness. They are well-suited for outdoor settings including villa courtyards, terraces, gardens, and scenic spots.
Taking inspiration from natural stone, the Origin Series features natural irregularity and textured surfaces. Its authentic design roots from global cultural and historical heritages, evoking the emotional resonance of the natural landscape evolving over time. The series uses low-saturation grayish tones to echo the hues of natural stone. Moreover, advanced 3D technology utilising personalised moulds ensures precise replication of irregular rock textures, through a special blending process of base materials to enhance both a unique texture and physical properties. This meticulous approach vividly captures the dynamic essence of nature within these modern tiles. Here, the natural aesthetic truly meets functionality.
In addition to its visual appeal, the Origin Series also strikes a balance between durability and eco-friendliness. Its high density ensures a low water absorption rate of under 0.5%, accompanied by enhanced anti-moisture and anti-bacterial properties. The tiles are thicker than its counterparts with the same water absorption rate, offering unparalleled resistance to bending and breakage, even under the weight of a 70-ton truck.
From an eco-conscious standpoint, the manufacturing process of the Origin Series uses recyclable materials and employs natural gas throughout. This approach exemplifies a commitment to resource recycling and harnesses the benefits of clean energy, paving the way for sustainable development.
